Euthanasia Rebutted: No "right to life" In Australia by Daisy Snow Euthanasia--the act of assisted suicide--was once outlawed in every country in the world because it destroys civilizations. The problem is that representative democracy in Western countries allows politicians to acquire an authority that goes beyond the power of the people. A questionable agenda can therefore be endorsed in parliamentary legislation. Euthanasia is one of them. The opinions of professionals, doctors of medicine and academics can sway the government because they have a power assumed to be in the bes interest of the people. When a politician with the gift of the gab obtains leadership in a democratic representative country, he or she can act like a dictator. The media is so powerful that it can endorse a personal agenda as though the people approved of some minority or controversial argument. The worms in proposed legislation can therefore be covered up in parliament and in the media. In 1996-97 the Federal Parliament of Australia provided evidence from euthanasia countries in Europe that regulations and procedures endorsed as safeguards in Euthanasia Laws do not work. The states ignored that evidence as though it did not exist. Opposing arguments were also ignored as unprofessional. The people were not consulted. The euthanasia premier of Victoria used compassion and emotion as a political tool to endorse the World Euthanasia Movement's Agenda in Parliament itself. Other states in Australia are copying Victoria's Euthanasia end-of-life death Laws. In Victoria murder under certain conditions is not a crime anymore. Those with a terminal illness are not the only ones who can be murdered under Euthanasia Laws. The targeted are killed in cold blood contrary to their 'No, No, No, No' screams. Thousands of innocent medical clients are euthanized in European countries every year without their knowledge or consent. This book investigates the implementation of twenty-first century Euthanasia Laws advocated by the World Euthanasia Movement that penetrates European and Western democratic parliaments. That is why the author investigated Euthanasia and wrote an informative book about it in 2018. This book acknowledges the updates. In late 2020 as happened through providence itself, the author Meret-Field Sally-Brown, penname Daisy Snow, witnessed how Euthanasia Laws are implemented in Victoria to murder the targeted in cold blood regardless of their objections. Although the author was not murdered under the state's Euthanasia Laws like other innocent and disenchanted people, she remains vulnerable. This is because of the non-factual criminal claims documented against her in the Mental Health Systems of both South Australia and Victoria. Criminal claims are commonly documented in mental health files in Australia against the poor, the vulnerable and the targeted because they cannot be documented in police files as such because they are not true. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/euthanasia-rebutted-daisy-snow/1144608047 https://daisysnow9-11books.com/ http://www.urlinkpublishing.com http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/42524dsurl.mp3

SO, Where Did We Go Wrong?: A thought-provoking look at society, and what I think has gone wrong with it in the last sixty years by David Henry Patton A thought-provoking look at society, and what I think has gone wrong with it in the last sixty years. (Largely from abandoning the many values that many have grown up with and have tried to follow. Instead, trading them in for the pursuit of earthly possessions. Just as disheartening, walking over and ignoring the “little” people that might get in the way!) Growing up on a family farm in northeastern Iowa back in the ’50s and ’60s, the church and family were foremost on my mind. During that time, I learned the importance of the Ten Commandments, to assume responsibilities, while becoming a team player. Those values, plus many more have been guide and inspiration for my life here on earth. As a classroom teacher for 33 years, unfortunately, I have also witnessed the disintegration of the American family, the dumbing down in education, plus both religion and politics going out the window with the bathwater! https://www.amazon.com/SO-Where-Did-Wrong-thought-provoking-ebook/dp/B0CWXRXRCH/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3TCUC2IQDBB7S&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.z3t_9tH7_uqeZqfeVLUqd0kA0gzcGuq7T4Dyjs-PgBVyeeIpEPM0PVDyJGJsj37C_9x1u2yXwqHjnwRo6zuBzZabYEJX-jgPQ7IK8xEuPnTjaP3Tro3xUCXhnNUomR-hLGkMuuswMVeBXU6jPRNSWbkoIlAkFLC79HKljOGqhbg9g8j9Pzytl37Iql_TYQxwaVMyoeUtZTymj9OE4ggl8lga1CJGBgRYmqdaiuq7Qyc._QdxF-AFQH18MrhvRsOQ-9XXBZ4SRnBt4hdzckfceiA&dib_tag=se&keywords=David+Henry+Patton&qid=1713454828&s=books&sprefix=david+henry+patton%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C283&sr=1-2 http://www.KingPagesPress.com http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/42524kpp2.mp3
